Golf Ontario Scholarship Program

Golf Ontario provides financial assistance to deserving student golfers throughout Ontario who continue their education at the post-secondary level. Support for the program began with a Trust Fund in 1994 and more recently through the cooperation of the Golf Ontario’s corporate partners and a variety of successful marketing initiatives. Golf Ontario awards annual scholarships to deserving students enrolled in an Ontario Golf Management Program.
